new to you

[Guest guest]

I have been silently watching this group for weeks now, and I just

want to say that you are all wonderful. Even though I have not posted

I have gotten so much from you all that will go with me for the rest

of my life. You all support each other in such a beautiful way that

it sometimes makes me cry. Ok sappy I know but true.

I started WW in Sept. of last year and lost 25 lbs. by January and

for some reason just stopped the program. Don't know why besides

time, money, but most honestly sabotage. I have managed to mostly

maintain my weight with only gaining 5lbs back but at the same time

staying in my size 16 comfortably and actually I think I've shrunk in

inches even though I gained back lbs. Since watching all of you chat

you have inspired me to buy a bike and I am now riding at least 3x a

week, at least for the last two weeks that I've had the bike. I feel

so much better mentally when I excercise. I don't get as irritated

with my kids or husband. It is wonderful. I still need to start back

up with counting points but for some reason I keep hesitating. I

believe I am afraid to know what I am like skinny and that it won't

fix everything that I want it to. I wish it wasn't so expensive to do

the etools because I think that is what I really need. Thank you all

for listening and for helping me to find the power of exercise. You

are truly wonderful beautiful people and I thank whoever began this group.
